  2. Profiles: Allow selecting multiple servers

    It would be nice to change profiles to add a checkbox beside the servers in the list so we can select multiple servers to put in the profile and leave out others.

    Ex. I would like only Toronto Ontario servers nothing else in one profile.

    Thanks

  3. Make systemd dependency optional

    ProtonVPN NetworkManager Library has a hard dependency on systemd-python [https://github.com/ProtonVPN/protonvpn-nm-lib/issues/18].

    I'm upgrading ProtonVPN-CLI and packaging ProtonVPN-GUI in GNU Guix [https://issues.guix.gnu.org/59246], which doesn't have/use systemd.

    Could you please make the systemd optional or make seatd [https://git.sr.ht/~kennylevinsen/seatd] an alternative option?

  4. Android improvements (country names, profiles, metrics, random connections)

    A posted this on reddit, but I figured I'd put it here as well.

    I've been a longtime user of ProtonMail and ProtonVPN and am incredibly grateful of everything they've done to make privacy accessible to more people. I also really love the new ProtonMail app. But ProtonVPN has problems.
    To some it up, it seems like functionality has been sacrificed for vague aesthetics.
    Specifics:
    1. The name of the country you are connected to is in tiny text down near the bottom of the screen. This is even worse if you are connected to the "fastest country". Instead most…

  5. Folder selection for Split Tunneling

    Easily exclude all sub-executables of a service by selecting a whole folder instead of having to manually select every file by hand.

    As an example, Steam needs much more than just the main executable and the game's executable to work properly with Split Tunneling.

  6. Diskless Servers on SecureCore

    Maybe this is already being done as of recent, but i can't find confirmation anywhere that the infrastucture is configured in such a manner.
    Would increase my already high trust witrh Proton, for ProtnVPN, to confirm they run their servers diskless, at least in the SecureCore.

  7. Add whitelist to Kill Switch

    Allow selecting specific networks (LAN or WiFi) to be excluded from the "permanent kill switch" feature on Windows.
    This would allow me to connect to my LAN without VPN while at home. But whenever I take my notebook somewhere else, it will be offline until a VPN connection is established.

  8. Bind the Kill Switch to specific programs

    Bind the Kill Switch setting to specific programs. For instance: Application "X" will terminate if VPN connection drops, even when switching servers.

  9. Country-specific config for wireguard

    For OpenVPN it is possible to download a country-specific configuration file which - when used - connects to the fastest available server.
    Please provide country-specific configs also for wireguard - currently I can only download a config for a specific server in a country.
    Thank you!

  10. Add criteria options for Quick Connect

    The "Quick Connect" button connects to the fastest available server; however, not all servers are made equal. If I want to connect to the fastest server that supports streaming, P2P, or Tor (or some combination thereof), then I have to go to the server list and manually compare available servers, then pick the one that is best. This is especially concerning with P2P, since even different servers in the same region don't consistently support it, and there's no easy way to see the supported features of the server you're connected to without finding it in the server list.

    It would…

  11. ProtonVPN: better support for arm linux (Raspberry Pi, PinePhone, etc)

    ProtonVPN gui and cli can be installed on various operating systems running on different arm devices. It seems that Debian-based OSes like Raspberry Pi OS and Mobian cannot properly use either tool. The connection fails and ultimately you are unable to access the internet. In order to correct this you need to run:

    sudo nmcli connection delete pvpn-ipv6leak-protection

    as suggested here: https://askubuntu.com/questions/1319033/internet-stops-working-after-installing-protonvpn.

    It would be nice to see more devices/oses supported. Until then when the connection fails at least it should clear any connection leftovers automatically.

  12. Change iOS app icon color to indicate connection status (or as notification)

    I'm relatively new to iOS, so I might be missing something, but it would be nice if the ProtonVPN connection status was shown as a badge on the app icon. I think what a user can see on the status bar is different depending on the version of iOS and model of phone and, in my case, the VPN status is not shown (which is different from the Android device I used to have).

    I sometimes find that the VPN is not connected (and not trying to re-connect) even though "Always-on VPN) is selected in the app settings and it…

  16. Reinstate IKEv2 protocol for iOS

    IKEv2 is native to iOS.

    I know there a security issues with the way iOS implements this protocol on iOS.

    But… since often ( in my case as well) a lot of apps offer services which are actually a vpn protocol. Like an adblocker for instance.

    Now… I use to be able to setup 2 vpns simultaneously. One protocol and one personal. This because IKEv2 is native to iOS.

    Now I constantly have to switch!

    Please use a middle ground in this case.

    Reinstate the IKEv2 as a protocol option, but warn users of it’s drawbacks.

    Everybody wins.

    Thanks

  17. Revert changes

    VPN accelerator, LAN connections, split tunneling, and Moderate NAT, most important being able to select a country (US, Japan or Netherlands) now you have zero choice and get put in a country with no data privacy laws for example.

    The marketing people really hit Proton hard over the last few years you see more and more features being eroded away from free users. I thought the paid users supported the free users in their business model? was that not the ethos of Proton VPN years ago? Everyone has the right to privacy?

    The blatant limitations being imposed makes you wonder…

  18. Bring back Permanent KillSwitch in Linux Protonvpn v4

    Protonvpn v4 on Ubuntu no longer supports the Permanent KillSwitch.
    This poses a Risk if a user forgets to manually start Protonvpn or if a user gets disconnected from a current session.
